On January 7 & 8, 2023, the CIE attended the Lunar New Year Extravaganza organized by the Edmonton Chinatown Multi-cultural Centre at WEM. The CIE teachers celebrated the Year of Rabbit with Edmontonians by demonstrating a traditional Chinese New Year decoration—Chinese knots, which symbolize longevity, good luck, happiness, and prosperity. A lot of Chinese knots bracelets were made and given out during the celebration. Donations for the bracelets were collected and all proceeds will be given to the Edmonton’s Food Bank.
